Safe for guinea pigs? What does anyone recommend?

Yes, this is safe for guinea pig use. The bedding does not contain phenol or aromatic oils which are harmful to guinea pigs. If you use 2/3 aspen with a coating of 1/3 carefresh, you'll probably get 4-5 cage changes out of a bag of this bedding. Figure that you'll want to order a bag just about once a month.

Yes, I think it would be a good size for guinea pigs. I bought it for my mini lop rabbit.

Yes. I built my guinea pigs a cage from them. Though it depends on the animal. If it is on the small side, like rats, or is know to easily escape, like ferrets, I recommend placing a grid layer on another grid the shifting it slightly to make the holes smaller then securing them in place. I saw this done for a built ferret cage. But for smaller animals, like mice, gerbils, hamsters, then I think a real cage is best for them.

I have not had guinea pigs, so I am not sure of their size. But we have a large rabbit and the size is great for her. It does not have a bottom. Overall we like it, the wire is a little flimsy and our rabbit does chew on it. For the money we are happy with it.

i use one and i just put it under the hay bin to try to keep it tidy. guinea pigs wont use a litter box they go wherever but i wouldnt worry about them eating the litter but you must buy a low dust litter or they will get lung problem try feline pine or even wood stove pellets. i use them for my ferrets they are super cheep and work wonders. i've never herd of them eating the litter.

I bought this for my daughter who had just bought 4 small chickens. It worked well for them however as have grown she has added on a much bigger pen. She stated this would be perfect for the guinea pigs. Hope this helps.

It was a gift sent from Amazon to a friend so I never saw it but if it has a bottom in it rather than just the sides around, it would be perfect for your guinea pigs I would think. I don't know anything about guinea pigs but the pen has mesh on the sides so if they chew, it might not work. Hope this helps.

We've used it for guinea pigs. I think that buying 4 of the petco brand 2 cu. feet bags on sale prices works out better--seems to add up to more than this single bag listed a 8 cu. feet and a little less dusty.

My guinea pig never left the room and is still healthy and living after three sprays of my room. I personally stayed out for 8hr.s. My dog was out for five and is also still healthy and living. For children I'd wait 8hr.s. I kept fan on to help circulation. I kept windows shut because it's winter so obviously less time with windows. I also slept on that pillow the same night.

For guinea pigs, yes... I'd use zip ties and not the little plastic connectors to make it secure and make a coroplast base... C&C all the way =D.

This guinea pig cage is very sturdy, and has a wire clip on each side to hold it to the solid heavy plastic bottom. I only have 1 guinea pig in it, and it is barely large enough for him to live in. But for a short term (3 day) travel cage, I feel it would be adequate for 2. Hope this answer helps. Safe travels!

Yes, it' safe. Not sure how effective it is though! It is no longer effective on my animals :(

It's very small, I wouldn't recommend it. It doesn't give my guinea pigs very much room, just as much as their cage.

I don't know that answer, but I would say it is safe to assume that anything they make to put in a small animal's habitat is safe for them to chew on. My guinea pig chews on the plastic igloo in her cage and the wooden items in her cage, too. I had rats years ago and they chewed on items such as these and they were fine. I see your concern though, because it does make you wonder what is in them. Some of the chew toys that I've seen are just vegetable shaped pieces of colored wood, no flavor or anything, and that's weird to me, but rodents have to chew. i think the color and shapes of these things are more for us than for them!

I've never used anything but this Oxbow food BUT I have 2 guinea pigs and I give them each 1/4 cup per day, every day their bowls are empty. They also have unlimited Timothy hay and other veggies but they still eat all the pellets. I'd say it's worth you trying it! Jenn

If your guinea pigs are willing to use it.. Yep! Perfect size and keeps things contained. The grate keep the animal from sitting in the litter. Our chinchillas took to it right away without any problem. They were also picking their own special corner. We use Fresh News Cat litter in it. Works well and so much cheaper than the "small animal" litter.
